Beschrijving

Bol William Scott-Elliot's The Story of Atlantis & The Lost Lemuria brings together two landmark works of Theosophical speculative history, first issued separately in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Blending mythography, occult cosmology, and pseudo-ethnographic narrative, the book reconstructs vanished continents, races, migrations, technologies, and catastrophes through the lens of esoteric evolution. Its prose is sober and diagrammatic rather than fantastical, giving visionary material the tone of Victorian scientific exposition and placing it within the wider fin-de-siècle fascination with archaeology, geology, spiritualism, and lost worlds. Scott-Elliot was an active Theosophist writing in the intellectual orbit of Helena Blavatsky, Annie Besant, and C. W. Leadbeater. His work reflects the movement's attempt to reconcile ancient wisdom traditions, clairvoyant investigation, and evolutionary theory into a universal history of humanity. The book's confidence in unseen sources and occult "records" reveals less about antiquity than about the ambitions and anxieties of an age seeking spiritual meaning beyond orthodox religion and materialist science. This volume is recommended to readers interested in esotericism, alternative histories, and the cultural afterlives of Atlantis and Lemuria. Read critically, it is an illuminating document of Theosophical imagination and Victorian occult modernity.
